The British Academy lecture is given by Stephen Machin (London School of Economics), who delves whether wages broken, if labour markets around the world are suffering from low wage work, wage inequality and weak real wage growth. He also addresses how the system can be transformed and how workers’ living standards be boosted with real wage growth, particularly as we head into a cost of living crisis. The lecture is followed by a Q&A with Sarah Smith (University of Bristol). Photo Credit: Bhagesh Sachania Photography
